Abstract
The inhibition of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) has emerged as an intriguing strategy for circumventing multidrug resistance (MDR) in anticancer chemotherapy. In this study, we have designed and synthesized 30 indole-selenides as a new class of P-gp inhibitors based on the scaffold hopping strategy. Among them, the preferred compound H27 showed slightly stronger reversal activity (reversal fold: 271.7 vs 261.6) but weaker cytotoxicity (inhibition ratio: 33.7% vs 45.1%) than the third-generation P-gp inhibitor tariquidar on the tested MCF-7/ADR cells. Rh123 accumulation experiments and Western blot analysis demonstrated that H27 displayed excellent MDR reversal activity by dose-dependently inhibiting the efflux function of P-gp rather than its expression. Besides, UIC-2 reactivity shift assay revealed that H27 could bind to P-gp directly and induced a conformation change of P-gp. Moreover, docking study revealed that H27 matched well in the active pockets of P-gp by forming some key H-bonding interactions, arene-H interactions and hydrophobic contacts. These results suggested that H27 is worth to be a starting point for the development of novel Se-containing P-gp inhibitors for clinic use.

Eur J Med Chem 2024; 264:116039.

Abstract
P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is an important factor leading to multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer treatment. The co-administration of anticancer drugs and P-gp inhibitors has been a treatment strategy to overcome MDR. In recent years, tyrosine kinase inhibitor Lapatinib has been reported to reverse MDR through directly interacting with ABC transporters. In this work, a series of P-gp inhibitors (1-26) was designed and synthesized by integrating the quinazoline core of Lapatinib into the molecule framework of the third-generation P-gp inhibitor Tariquidar. Among them, compound 14 exhibited better MDR reversal activity than Tariquidar. The docking results showed compound 14 displayed the L-shaped molecular conformation. Importantly, compound 14 increased the accumulation of Adriamycin (ADM) and rhodamine 123 (Rh123) in MCF7/ADM cells. Besides, compound 14 significantly increased ADM-induced apoptosis and inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of MCF7/ADM cells. It was also demonstrated that compound 14 significantly inhibited the growth of MCF7/ADM xenograft tumors by increasing the sensitivity of ADM. In summary, compound 14 has the potential to overcome MDR caused by P-gp.

Abstract
The emergence of multidrug resistance (MDR) in malignant tumors is one of the leading threats encountered currently in many chemotherapeutic agents. The overexpression of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters is involved in MDR. P-glycoprotein (P-gp)/ABCB1 is a member of the ABC transporter family that significantly increases the efflux of various anticancer drugs from tumor cells. Therefore, targeting P-gp with small molecule inhibitors is an effective therapeutic strategy to overcome MDR. Over the past four decades, diverse compounds with P-gp inhibitory activity have been identified to sensitize drug-resistant cells, but none of them has been proven clinically useful to date. Research efforts continue to discover an effective approach for circumventing MDR. This review has provided an overview of the most recent advances (last three years) in various strategies for circumventing MDR mediated by P-gp. It may be helpful for the scientists working in the field of drug discovery to further synthesize and discover new chemical entities/therapeutic modalities with less toxicity and more efficacies to overcome MDR in cancer chemotherapy.

Abstract
P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is one of the drug efflux transporters that triggers multidrug resistance (MDR) in cells. Herein, by utilizing the strategies of active skeleton splicing and structural optimization on the lead compound 5 m, a total of 50 novel 2,5-disubstituted furan derivatives were designed, synthesized, and screened for P-gp inhibitory activity. The structure-activity relationship analysis enabled the identification of an important pharmacophore N-phenylbenzamide, which resulted in the discovery of a promising drug lead compound Ⅲ-8. Ⅲ-8 possesses broad-spectrum reversal activity and low toxicity in MCF-7/ADR cells. Western blot and Rh123 accumulation assay demonstrated that Ⅲ-8 displayed the reversal activity by inhibiting P-gp efflux. Molecular docking analysis indicated a potent affinity of Ⅲ-8 to P-gp by forming H-bond interactions with residues Asn 721 and Met 986. Ⅲ-8 was determined to be a highly effective and safe P-gp inhibitor in an MCF-7/ADR xenograft mouse model.

Abstract
The co-administration of anticancer drugs and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitors was a treatment strategy to surmount multidrug resistance (MDR) in anticancer chemotherapy. In this study, novel phenylfuran-bisamide derivatives were designed as P-gp inhibitors based on target-based drug design, and 31 novel compounds were synthesized and screened on MCF-7/ADR cells. The result of bioassay revealed that compound y12d exhibited low cytotoxicity and promising MDR reversal activity (IC50 = 0.0320 μM, reversal fold = 1163.0), 3.64-fold better than third-generation P-gp inhibitor tariquidar (IC50 = 0.1165 μM, reversal fold = 319.3). The results of Western blot and rhodamine 123 accumulation verified that compound y12d exhibited excellent MDR reversal activity by inhibiting the efflux function of P-gp but not expression. Furthermore, molecular docking showed that compound y12d bound to target P-gp by forming the double H-bond interactions with residue Gln 725. These results suggest that compound y12d might be a potential MDR reveal agent acting as a P-gp inhibitor in clinical therapeutics, and provide insight into design strategy and skeleton optimization for the development of P-gp inhibitors.

Abstract
α-Glucosidase inhibitors (AGIs) are oral antidiabetic drugs, preferably used in treating type 2 diabetes mellitus, that delay the absorption of carbohydrates from the gastrointestinal system. In this work, 2,5-disubstituted furan derivatives containing imidazole, triazole or tetrazole moiety (III-01 ∼ III-45) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, HRMS, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and single crystal X-ray. Their inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase was screened. The most promising inhibitors were compound III-11 (IC50 = 6.0 ± 1.1 μM), III-16 (IC50 = 2.2 ± 0.2 μM) and III-39 (IC50 = 4.6 ± 1.9 μM), respectively. Kinetic study revealed that compounds III-11 and III-39 were uncompetitive inhibitors against α-glucosidase. Meanwhile, III-16 (Ki = 5.1 ± 0.7 μM) was a competitive inhibitor. Furthermore, molecular docking studies indicated that the existence of the azole group played a critically important role in hydrogen bond interaction with α-glucosidase. Significantly, in vivo toxicity towards HEK293 cells, RAW264.7 cells and HepG2 cells suggested that compounds III-11 and III-39 possessed non-toxicity, that could be considered as potential candidates for further development of novel antidiabetic drugs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The argument around cancer therapy is an old one. Using chemotherapeutic drugs, as one of the most effective strategies in treatment of malignancies, is restricted by various issues that progress during therapy and avoid achieving clinical endpoints. Multidrug resistance (MDR), frequently mediated by ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, is one of the most recognized obstacles in the success of pharmacological anticancer approaches. These transporters efflux diverse drugs to extracellular environment, causing MDR and responsiveness of tumor cells to chemotherapy diminishes. AREAS COVERED Several strategies have been used to overcome MDR phenomenon. Succession in this field requires complete knowledge about features and mechanism of ABC transporters. In this review, conventional synthetic and natural inhibitors are discussed first and then novel approaches including RNA, monoclonal antibodies, nanobiotechnology, and structural modification techniques are represented. EXPERT OPINION With increasing frequency of MDR in cancer cells, it is essential to develop new drugs to inhibit MDR. Using knowledge acquired about ABC transporter's structure, rational design of inhibitors is possible. Also, some herbal products have shown to be potential lead compounds in drug discovery for reversal of MDR.
